All seem fine. Hand 1 might or might not be a cbet. And I'd bet turn harder.

[Parasurama]

Hand 1: I think against such a tight villain and with so much sd value checking behind flop is slightly better but in general I'm cbetting this flop >90% of the time.

Turn sizing is ok imo but slightly bigger ($4.25-$5) is better, rest of hand is standard but it feels dirty calling those small bets when you know you're beat.

Hand 2: If you can play postflop flatting pre is better than 3b. Hand is standard. He probably has AQ/88 more often than he calls a river c/r with worse so just calling is good.

Hand 3: Very standard (and racing to get the money in) unless you have a read on him making this play.

1. I think both checking and c-betting are ok here provided we fire J+ turns since a lot of his calling range is pretty weak and contains lowish pairs. Also we can sometimes win a nice pot with A high when he c/c 2 streets with draws and misses, since he seems unlilikely to bluff rivers oop after we've shown strength. This and the fact there are plenty good turns to barell kind of balances out the lack of folds we can expect on this flop. Rest of the hand looks fine to me.

2. I'd rather just lead out for $7.50 or so on the river since he may get suspicious and call with a hand he'll be checking back like a Q. He might check back an 8 here aswell or b/f small with it, so we can get more value from those by leading 3/4 pot here imo. I don't think he's bluffing too often at this river given his stats and that there isn't too much we can be c/f'ing. He has 88 so infrequnetly that I'd rather jus maximise our value vs the rest of his range.

3. Uber, mega, ultra standard.

[Kbryce23]

1. I don't expect him to fold on the flop very often, but I double barrel alot of turn cards.

3. I was thinking what hands does a 10/5 nit shove on this flop. Then I thought of a range and used pokerstove to see it is an easy call.

Agree w/ all above. For the check/call flop, check/min-raise turn in Hand 1, make sure to write down a note on his holding and watch for this play from this guy throughout your session. His range is very polarized, obv, but it helps to know if this villain is willing to min-raise weak holdings. This bet usually means the nuts. But some weak micro players will use it as a bluff. Knowing that can lead to mega profits later on.

Either way, you can sometimes learn enough to fold against particular villains when they take this line, despite the massive pot odds. Be sure to watch other showdown hands than the ones you're involved in to try to get a read on the strength of this bet.

I love players who use the check/min-raise and don't vary their play enough. They just turn their cards face up and let you profit.
